Availability Analysis and Optimization of the Grid Computing System”, 
/Fourth International Conference on Mathematical Methods in Reliability 
(MMR04)/, June 21-25, 2004, Santa Fe, USA.

Y.S. Dai, M. Xie and K.L. Poh, “A Fast Algorithm for Grid System 
Reliability”, / Regional Inter-University Electrical & Electronic 
Engineering Conference/ / 2003 /(/RIUPEEEC 2003/), Hong Kong.
